Ok I am chiming in here. I wax regularly and at first it does hurt but the more often you do it the less it hurts, and (here is the best part) the more you do it the less your hair grows back. My thought (don't know for sure) as you pull those buggers out by the root some of the roots don't reproduce. If you have sensitive skin, like I do, put a light bit of baby powder on before you wax. The wax still sticks to the hair but not your skin. I have had a hair dresser rip the skin right off my eye lids while waxing. (That is not good.) You will end up smooth for a long time and reduce your regrowth with each application. I have never had any luck with the honey like waxes that require you put paper over top. Good luck
